Ok, I am using Captivate 5, and as you may know, there is a problem in finishing a big project in just one swf because of memory resources issues.

I am currently working on a very important project for my compamy so I had to get around that problem. so I split my project into 6 different projects, hoping I could link them with the "click button" option. You are suppose to be able to link the button to another project.

So I did.

But when I published the project, a popup says:

the files/projects listed below are linked to the open project. The linked files/projects may require exporting.

{the name of my -supposed to be - linked project)

It is also important to copy all referenced files and projects with thier corresponding HTML file to the output folder

My links cannot be clicked.

Of course, all my files are in the same folder (even if it's not very cool) and I have tried with html file and swf files.

...

I have to finish my project for next week...so please, help me!

    Hi there.

    I would suggest you the following steps. Try them and let us know

    1. For the click button select the action as "Open other project" and select the .CPTX of the next project you wish to open.

    2. Now Publish all the 6 projects to 6 separate folders.

    3. Copy the contents of all the folders to project1 folder.

    Now linking should work as expected. Check out and let me know.

    You can use the Aggregator to aggregate the 6 projects. It seems like a reasonable work around and will accomplish what you need (projects playing one after another).

    I would like to clarify Ashwin if this solution would work with projects uploaded in an LMS?
